April 7, 2006: Mets vs. Marlins
The first game of the season! Finally. This year, I am all about taking the 7 train and not driving, saving gas, conserving, plus it really is an easy commute from home… there is very little excuse (okay, at least there isn’t on the way out to Shea; coming home, waiting for the G train, I manage to come up with a long list).
You would think that after everything I went through to get my seats, that I would have been running upstairs to sit in them… but for some reason I chickened out and snuck into the Loge to sit with my friends who also have the Tuesday-Friday plan - let’s call them LA and M for short. I didn’t even go upstairs to watch some of the game from the seats. I think I was afraid to compare them to LA & M’s seats or that maybe I made the wrong decision (I had to do this on my own, since TBF was working out of town at the time).
But a chance to check out the new guys, and see the old favorites. It was big and overwhelming and reminding me how much I still have to learn about baseball.
Oh, and we won.
